******BUGS***** People want to know what they taste like well they are actually pretty good when cooked and spiced properly the biggest problems I find are psychologically induced like when I ate the worms everything was going great they tasted good but my brain as I chewed them was sending me mental pictures of a box of squirming slimy worms all tangled between each other in a stinky mess now all I could smell was lemon and chilli but as I was eating them again my brain started sending me the smell and mental pictures of worms now I think if I was thinking of chicken as I was eating them I'd probably had a better time but again the taste was pretty good even with the June Bugs but again as I chewed on the June Bugs it was all going good tasted great but again my brain started the alarm again and sent me pictures of them flying around the light and stuck to the screen door but again if I thought of a good steak while eating them I'd of been ok so it's very psychological indeed it's a western indoctrination from our very childhood bugs are bad cows and chickens are good lol best I can describe it! I'm going to keep experimenting on bugs until I condition my mind not to send me those nasty visuals and smells when I eat them and only then will I be totally enlightened on the fast changing trends and our ever growing world and it's insatiable desire for food!!!!! #JulesChild

I was surprised you went from dirt to batter. I never ate them in school, but I thought that when the classes did it the teacher had kept them overnight in a container of oatmeal to sort of "cleanse" their digestive tract? Not sure. I guess I could have googled it. I know what you mean about the psychology. I've fished and handled crawlers my whole life. While I hadn't eaten them (lol), handling them was just second nature. Nothing gross about it. But one year I was stocking up for the fishing season and picked maybe 15-20 dozen crawlers and had them in a box with moss and soil. I would check on them or pick a dozen out when going fishing. At one point they had all come to the surface in a mass - as they do when too high a # of them in too small a space. I remember vividly that the slime and the actual sound they were making disgusted me to the point that I suddenly didn't feel like touching them. Grossed me out. It became more similar to the repulsion I would have from touching a June bug (hate 'em) or cockroach (I lived in Puerto Rico, so I know them well). Of course, it didn't last. But for that moment and a little while afterwards, they grossed me out for a bit. I don't think I'd be able to actually eat one. So props to you for pulling that one off. :P

Yup it's quite interesting and from now on I'm googling just in case I decide to cook something poisonous lol :/ stuck in the woods I guess I know what to eat providing it's summer lol

Hey Andre: Thanks for sharing your "journey." And I really mean that. I'm enjoying your food videos. I found your comment re: western ideas about what's food and what's not very interesting. If it's protein and we can digest it, where does the revulsion come from? Perhaps our ancestors couldn't tell good bugs from poison ones, so all bugs were to be avoided. Anyway, I look forward to more culinary delights!

This is very interesting. I remember as far back as high school thinking about "lab meat". I.e. how we could grow an equivalent to a chicken breast or steak, etc, without sourcing it from the slaughter of an animal. Not sure how long that's been an area of study, though it's definitely an active area of research now: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=In_vitro_meat For me, the basis for pursuing these options are not to deny our carnivorous/predatorial inclinations for our diet. Instead, the whole thought arises due to the adverse conditions that animals in bulk production facilities have to endure - essentially held captive in a torturous environment. It's not consistent with our origins as hunter/gatherers by any means. And it's only acceptable to the extent that we don't have a present alternative supply channel, can't change our diet preferences en masse, and we either don't know or choose not to think about what's happening in these "farms".

But now your video sort of puts the insects into perspective. I think with safe genetic modification, the characteristics of these insects could actually be changed in such a way that they (a) would be more palatable, and (b) more efficient for mass production. Imagine the wingless, soft exoskeleton cockroach versus the mini-monsters that they currently are. So we may not get an insect steak, but we could certainly get the equivalent of a cost effective insect protein burger made from mass harvesting and industrial processing. With that said (and objections to genetic modifications set aside for the moment), could the insect bodies even be modified to be a growth environment for tissues from chicken or beef, etc? We have grown human tissues adhered to the bodies of mice (for precedent). In other words, the petri dish just grew legs and is walking around the lab with its internal protein payload. As the video shows, the precedent is already there for insects being a major part of the human diet. It's inconsistent with the way we and many other countries live - with our abundantly available/diverse food supply and income availability to obtain it. If it's not already, it will probably start showing up as *non-accidental* processed food fillers such as the role that soy already plays in our food production.

When I seen that video yesterday all my feelings were validated instantly I will continue my madness maybe I'll be the first in the Maritimes to create seasonal insect recipes I kind of like being first even if it's gross as hell lmao

That's why I'm almost vegan my friend the karma attached to eating tortured souls is to me not worth it I'd rather eat bugs at least when we hunt we kill with swiftness and mercy and the animal we ate was happy at the time of death commercial farming has become a very evil heartless thing to the point I could not ignore it anymore legumes and bugs are the future
Richard Lorway Follow Me
Great video. It makes compelling arguments and puts things into a global perspective. I do think that consumer preference will be the biggest hurdle, but when the insects are ground into paste and incorporated into recipes, it's somehow more palatable. I.e. you can see the heads, legs, antennae, etc. Mind you, lobster are not exactly attractive either!

All psychological ah we will accept as times get tougher
